News & Updates

Once a year we sit around a table and express what we are thankful for. Often, people tend to express how thankful they are for their family. If we think about it, many of us can always do a bit better with the way we invest in our own families. Some of the best investments we can do in our children is the time that we spend with them. When our children are old, they will never remember the iPhone or Xbox we invested so much to buy for them; but they will remember the day they played catch with you or the day they learned an important lesson from you.

At Orozco Academy, we do our best to involve our families. We have parent-mentors in the classrooms, a very active LSC, weekly talleres de padres, and teachers and staff that organize activities that involve the families. For example, in December we have three family events that you can attend with your children: 1) on December 1st, we have a family movie night at 3:15 (bring abuelitos too!); the students organizing this event are planning to send the proceeds of this event to benefit the victims in Puerto Rico. 2) Mr. LeMoine’s annual family puzzle event will be on December 7th at 3:30PM. Several teachers and I will be sponsoring our own teams of four; please take this opportunity to register your own family and compete in the Escape from the Pyramid event. 3) The annual Winter Show promises to be a fantastic event. We will send more details about this later on but save the date for Friday, December 22nd.Thank you for allowing me to be part of the Orozco Family!
